During a Saturday night concert, Bob Seger told the crowd at DTE Energy Music Theatre in his hometown of Detroit to expect an as-yet unnamed album in November. He also promised to release a new single before his next performance in the area, scheduled for September 23 at the Palace of Auburn Hills. This will be Seger's 18th studio album, and his first LP since 2014's Ride Out. A formal announcement is expected to confirm the release.

Seger rose to national prominence in 1976 with his ninth LP, Night Moves, released by Capitol Records. Three singles on the album reached top 40 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. His 1980 release Against the Wind reached number one on the Billboard chart, his first and only album to do so. 1981's live album Nine Tonight would sell over four million copies.

The 80's and early 90's saw a steady output of music, culminating in 1994's Greatest Hits album which sold almost 10 million copies. Seger then took a break from music. After a hiatus of 11 years, Seger released Face the Promise in 2006, which sold 400,000 units in 45 days and 1.2 million total.

A decorated performer once known for intimate shows in small venues, Bob Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012. His recording of "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001.
